Holy fuck, that article was dark.

I mean, I still totally probably would.

Back in my drinking days, I definitely would have taken her home at last call.

Ahh, there it is. I'm a fool. I don't care what the stroke to tip ratio or whatever is on Bonero. I'm not interested in the technical wanking details. I merely wish to purchase goods and services.

I'm not investing in crypto. That's what precious metals, the stock market, and real estate are for.

Bitcoin costs me $3 a transaction or so, everybody takes it, it's easy.

"Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich."

That's a good quote. Who is it from?

This isn't heavily controlled stuff. Antidepressants, heart medication, gi prescriptions, stuff insurance should cover but deductibles, yada yada. Sky Pharmacy.

Bitcoins should be used as god intended: buying prescription drugs from India. Most everything else is a circlejerk of stupid.

Man, this shit just keeps being funny. The longer it stays funny, the better it affects all involved.

Nope. It'll make you want to scrub your brain with a steel toothbrush.

Yah, the rumor is that the north Koreans got ahold of cellphones with open web access for the first time in their life. So they immediately started watching all the porn and jacking themselves raw.

Not the OP, but I appreciate your ethical explanation.

I agree partially with you. I don't have a moral issue with the killing of individuals who have engaged in particularly heinous acts: murder, rape, torture, extreme child and spousal abuse, white collar negligence/willfully allowing death to occur through inaction for pay, etc.

I just don't trust the US or the states to ethically carry out executions, especially given their track record of executing innocent or low IQ individuals. So I'm anti death penalty. Life is cheaper than execution anyhow.

That being said, I don't have a problem with certain kinds of vigilante justice or vengeance either. Especially vengeance for a loved one. FWIW, I'm not seeking vengeance, but I absolutely get it. Jury nullficaton should always be a right.

Anyhow, the news isn't in, but I'm rooting for an ethical vengeance situation. He killed a fucking vampire, I hope he's a hero with respectable views. Even more, I hope they never catch him. Either way the fucker is dead, and good riddance. I hope the other CEOs squirm, they need to either get right or go to prison.

We should be having this discussion in News.

Fuck that fucking book. Fucking love Banks, but fuck him for that fucking mind ripping thing.

The term I grew up with for botfly larva was wolves. Cancer was often diagnosed when the tumors erupted through the skin. The crab.

So, probably a bad death.

Grew up in North Alabama. There were June bugs that were more golden when I was a kid. Some of them looked like they were made of gold, and weren't green like they are now. We'd tie a string around a leg and fly them like little dive bombers. Which is pretty terrible, but didn't know any better.

Not getting into the ethics of poor/uneducated people eating endangered species. Everybody sucks. It's unfortunate.

Turtle is fucking delicious. I've only had freshwater turtle from non-threatened species. Best way I ever had was as barbecue sandwiches using a crockpot recipe prepared by an old man. Seven kinds of meat in a turtle. Killed a snapping turtle in a stocked pond once and spent hours trying to recover it just so we could eat it.

“I have extended an offer to President Trump and incoming border czar Tom Homan to use this 1,400-acre property to construct a facility for the processing, detention, and coordination efforts of what will be the largest deportation of violent criminals in our nation's history.”

Buckingham said a facility built on this farmland recently bought by Texas will be the final stop for processing migrants before deportation.

She also promised more Texas land for mass deportation: “The new project that the General Land Office is going to bargain that I have created is the Jocelyn Initiative, in which we will locate appropriate land under my jurisdiction to lease for the construction of violent criminal deportation facilities.”

Texas Public Radio article

I only have the heart to read so much of this. My little family is white and we have moved to a safer state from the deep south. We're guessing we've got about a decade of safety before things get dangerous for us again.

Trying to strike a personal balance between being aware of safety concerns and not feeding myself large amounts of depressing info.

I think Texas has already volunteered land for camps.

I've read about this before. That super sucks for you, but is a fascinating phenomenon. Good luck trying to chase that rabbit down.

Pick up an electron and show it to me. That shits imaginary. Also, EEs make the worst mechanical engineers because they have no concept of manufacturability.

MEs? They don't know shit either. Just cause you can draw it doesn't mean it's possible. Also, GD&T, learn what a reasonable tolerance is or it's going to cost 10x what it should.

Engineers need to get off my lawn.

Sound engineers seem to be okay. They seem to smoke a lot of weed.

Our oceans are already in enough trouble without throwing that trash in them. Maybe convince them to visit a continental subduction zone so they can be safety swept away in between tectonic plates.
